 * Hi I am trying to activate the AWS plugin. The pages refreshes and when it reloads,
   the plugin is still not activated.
    I also tried to delete the plugin, reinstall
   it and activate again. I don’t get any error message. The plugin simply keeps
   inactive. Could you please advise what may cause this? Many thanks in advance

    PHP cURL library 7.16.2 or greater cURL compiled
   with OpenSSL and zlib curl_multi_exec enabled

 * Yes thank you – apparently it was indeed an issue withe a missing Curl module.
   Once that was installed – the issue was solved.

 * Wouldn’t be easier if your plugin told us what it was missing ?
    I executed the
   following query, but not sure if openssl and curl_multi_exec is enabled. Can 
   you tell me what you think?
 * $ curl -V
    curl 7.54.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.0) libcurl/7.54.0 SecureTransport
   zlib/1.2.8 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps
   pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile
